Mapping Aristocratic Spaces. Estates, Forests, and Gardens (Europe, 16th–19th Centuries)
Whether used to map or describe a territory, to develop, exploit, or promote it, the map gradually emerged as one of the primary tools for the appropriation of aristocratic spaces in modern Europe. This cartography, widely utilized by historians of parks, gardens, forests, and estates, has however rarely been studied for its own sake. This conference therefore aims to examine the methods of its production, uses, and dissemination, while exploring its role in the transformation of the environment and in the reconfiguration of an aristocracy that considered land ownership as a foundation of its social identity.

The Maghreb of Anthropologists : Actors, Practices and Spaces
The conference The Maghreb of Anthropologists : Actors, Practices and Spaces will focus on these shifts in the anthropology of the Maghreb. It will investigate the emergence of new actors, practices and spaces within and in relation to Maghreb anthropology, whether these are thematic, methodological, linguistic, bibliographical, conceptual, theoretical or epistemological in nature. It will also raise questions that are more institutional and that relate to issues of training, career trajectories and, more broadly, the power structures that shape higher education.

« Condition humaine / conditions politiques », Revue internationale d’anthropologie du politique
This special issue of Condition humaine / Conditions politiques is grounded in a shared observation : for several years now, a body of anthropological research—often described as “anarchist”, though not forming a homogeneous current—has contributed to a common shift in perspective. Speaking of “anarchist anthropologies” is therefore not an attempt to establish a new school or to stabilize a doctrinal definition of anarchism, but rather to open a pluralistic space for discussion around research practices that concretely experiment with forms of non-domination, autonomy, and coexistence.

The Bible in the Managment of Material Life in Christian Societies (4th-16th Centuries)
The BibGes workshop and congress aim to highlight the embeddedness of sociopolitical mechanisms in beliefs from the 4th to the 16th century, across the various structures of Christian communities (Byzantine, Latin, Coptic, and Ethiopian). Historians, legal historians, and art historians are invited to submit papers for investigations into what may be considered an interface between pragmatic writings—those serving administration and the transmission of goods and individuals—and the Sacred Scriptures, both as text and as the Book.

Playful Participation as an Artistic Methodology: Histories, Curatorial Practices, Museums
The third issue of the new series of Senzacornice Journal. Studies on the Contemporary Art System takes as its point of departure two seminal experiences centered on spontaneous and self-managed play. These are understood both as models for social and communal construction through audience engagement, and as investigations into the mutually productive relationships between human and machine, and human and object: The Model – A Model for a Qualitative Society (Stockholm, Moderna Museet, 1968, curated by Palle Nielsen) and Play Orbit (London, Institute of Contemporary Arts, 1969, curated by Jasia Reichhardt). In both cases, the curators conceived play as a voluntary activity—mediated or unmediated—capable of restoring to the participant a freedom of action that is increasingly constrained or denied within institutional contexts.

Mountain Infrastructure and Its Vulnerabilities: Design, Governance and Repurposing
“Journal of Alpine Research”
This thematic issue on mountain infrastructure is dedicated to exploring the planned structures and facilities that ensure the long-term accessibility, habitability and economic activity of mountain regions. These infrastructure assets have both a physical and technical materiality (in relation to the practices of the actors who use and/or manage them, and playing a central role in operational issues) and an economic existence (in terms of their management and finance). They therefore need to be approached both through the lens of the sociotechnical and economic systems of which they are a part, and from the perspective of their environmental, political and historical dimensions.

Perspectives from the Social Sciences and Humanities
This thematic issue explores the role of photography in social science research methods from the late 19th century to the present, with an ethnographic focus on the processes of production and co-production of fieldwork data. Whilst the intertwining of the medium with the renewal of modes of scientific observation and gaze in the 19th and 20th centuries is now well established, the past and current development of visual practices at the intersection of the social sciences and photography has, for its part, been explored more recently. Building on these works, this issue aims to follow the long-term evolution of ethnographic research methods involving and/or using photography, as well as the gradual development of its contemporary forms. What constitutes a (photographic) inquiry, and for whom? What roles do fieldworkers, ethnographer-photographers, and the institutions that oversee and commission inquiries play in it?

In a context where Africa aspires to free itself from the vestiges of colonization and all other forms of cultural domination, in order to assert itself as an autonomous and self-referential power, the question arises as to what date could be chosen for the celebration of the African New Year, similar to that of other peoples of the world such as the Chinese, Europeans, Israelis, Iranians, and so on, who celebrate their New Year distinctly. However, this date must necessarily be based on a scientifically developed calendar that withstands the vagaries of time. It is for all these reasons that the Togolese Government proposes to organize an international symposium on the theme: “Establishment of an endogenous calendar and celebration of the African New Year: contemporary challenges of African unity, between history and identity”.

Patching up. Intermediality. History and Theory of the Arts, Literature, and Technologies
Revue « Intermédialités », n° 50 (Automne 2027)
Patching up means adding pieces—patches—to maintain, repair, and extend the life of something; at times, it goes beyond simply filling a gap to become a creative act. We start from the premise that objects and infrastructures, like bodies and communities, can be patched up—and that what is patched up is never quite “as it was before.” Its appearance, function, and meaning may shift; the pieces themselves are redefined by what they join. Patching up is therefore less about restoring a previous state than about producing something that did not exist before: a different object, a new reality. This creative, poietic, and performative dimension lies at the heart of this issue, which seeks to explore both the material act of patching up and the political gestures and worldviews that accompany it.

Conference, symposium - Epistemology and methodology
Digitization of Scholarly Knowledge through the Prism of Research Practices
Memories, Uses and Critical Issues
Organized within the CollEx-Persée Digitization program, this conference invites critical, collective and interdisciplinary reflection on the transformations induced by digitization in research practices and scholarly uses. How do choices of corpora, tools or formats shape research practices? What kind of memory of science is thus produced, made visible, or, on the contrary, devalued? What mechanisms—existing or in development—can ensure that the digitization of academic literature effectively supports research practices, whether traditional or emerging?

This symposium is a direct extension of the “Fiction & Social Sciences” meeting organized in May 2024, dedicated to contemporary articulations between fiction devices and social science methodologies. The exchanges initiated on this occasion made it possible to deepen already long-standing reflections on the relationships of competition, tension, but also complementarity between academic and fictional writing, paying particular attention to emerging practices such as fictional investigation. The central challenge was to analyze how the hybridization between the documentary and fictional genres shifts the ways of investigating, writing and reproducing research results.

Many cultures express devotion toward objects that appear remarkably similar: footprints in stone said to have been left by celestial figures. This workshop, organized at the University of Neuchâtel on October 22–23, 2026, aims to move beyond this impression of déjà vu and to highlight the specific characteristics of devotional practices associated with such traces in Christianity, Islam, and Buddhism, from the Middle Ages to the present day.

The Mediterranean Basin has been a stage where human movement, cultural negotiation, and structural transformations have unfolded in ways unmatched by any other region. More than a mere body of water, the Mediterranean constitutes a living environment in which civilizations have continuously interacted, reshaped one another, and generated new forms of social and cultural expression. Its shores have witnessed repeated cycles of mobility that have not only connected distant communities but also redefined the very meaning of connectivity throughout history.

The West-African Digital Transformations Forum
Digitalization is a major strategic stake for African economies, yet the extent to which digital development interventions have been successful and their role in shaping social, economic, and political transformations remains unclear. West Africa, in particular, offers a rich setting that remains insufficiently documented, calling for strengthened research efforts to inform debates and policies on digitalization and development.

Tübingen
Initiated by a group of young artist-researchers from the Eberhard Karl University of Tübingen and the University of Toulouse – Jean Jaurès (UT2J), the project Poietics and Politics of the Pluriverse, Part II: Revolutions, Research-Crea[c]tions and Possible Worlds aims to provide a space to expand and break down the boundaries of thought and creation. Focusing on revolutions (political, but also artistic, scientific, metaphysical…), “research-crea[c]tion” and possible worlds, this second conference will further explore the poietics, politics and cosmologies of the Pluriverse. It will bring together researchers and “artivists” for workshops, performances, academic presentations and discussions open to the public.
